QUEERY: Mick Bullock — Blade
Mick Bullock ran off and on since high school but got more serious about it in the last few years since moving to Washington six years ago and joining the D.C. Front Runners.
“It’s an opportunity to put everything else aside and enjoy the outdoors,” the Columbia, Miss., native says. “Clear your head, put your phone down and enjoy the scenery. Especially in the summer with all the shirtless men.”
The Front Runners have bumped their annual Pride Run 5k to Oct. 10 but they still wanted to do something for Pride month so they’re planning a virtual Run for Love June 13-22 in which they’ll raise money through $30 registration fees for local LGBT charities. Last year’s Pride run had 1,600 participants and raised $40,000. This year’s charities are the Wanda Alston Foundation, Casa Ruby, Teens Run D.C., The Blade Foundation, Ainsley’s Angels and the Team D.C. Scholarship Fund. Details at runforlovedc.com. Runners will submit times by June 21 and a virtual awards ceremony will be held online.
